Facts are stubborn rascals, regardless of how some today would like to change history, in all honesty, history states certain events took place and it is a matter of record.

People can have their own opinion and perspective about the events but facts are facts. World War Two did take place and six million Jews were killed as well as many other groups under the Nazis. This is a fact and even though some would like to deny it the holocaust did take place. If you were married, divorced, an only child etc. those are facts and so written in the annals of time and cannot be changed.

Even though facts are facts and as such will never change, what can change is your perspective and reaction to them. Many who suffered through the holocaust recovered and once released from the prison camps went on to live productive and successful lives while many whose ancestors suffered under slavery are still carrying the cross today. It just a matter of perspective and adapting to reality. It is completely for the individual as to how long he wants to carry his own personal cross.

Do you want to dwell on your burden forever, or do you want to turn it into something positive?

There is an extreme shortage of common sense in today’s world, When looking back in history, I soon discovered this has always been a problem, Benjamin Franklin once said, ”Of all the senses, common sense seems to be the one that is used the least.”

As simple as it may seem, many seem to be totally oblivious to it. Most if not all of the problems the world faces today could be solved if people would just sit back and think about what would seem to be the most obvious and simple solution to any issue. Often times people tend to over complicate the issues when an easy and simple solution would be obvious.
